—Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has shown its fast search speed in many complicated optimization and search problems. However, PSO could often easily fall into local optima. T...
A method is presented that allows one to exactly determine all the characteristics of a PSO’s sampling distribution and explain how it changes over time, in the presence stochas...
Abstract. The optimization of a Fuzzy Cognitive Map model for the supervision and monitoring of the radiotherapy process is proposed. This is performed through the minimization of ...
